How to set focus on Win7 m/c opened using browser access

[shaktiku1]

Hi,

I am working on to send Keyboard keys to notepad opened in Win7 m/c(which i am accessing using webBrowser{called as console view} just like client-server) which is in maximized mode and focus is set to notepad.

I have created AutoIT script to get the handle of the browser's window but when i triggers AutoIT script through batch script it is not recognizing properly ,though its find the browser window properly but not sending the keys to notepad

I am attaching the screenshot of the opened Win7 m/c for reference(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/91420517/Insession.JPG) 

**If i run the AutoIT script and click inside the opened notepad,then sendkeys sends all the key properly.

$hFirefox = WinGetHandle("[CLASS:MozillaWindowClass; TITLE:FRwin7x64 - Mozilla Firefox]", "")
WinActivate($hFirefox,"")


; Character in Small letters
;--------------------------
Sleep(1000)
Send("a")
send("{ENTER}")
Send("b")
send("{ENTER}")
Send("c")
send("{ENTER}")
Send("d")
send("{ENTER}")
Send("e")
send("{ENTER}")

if this is remote control of some sort, then you issue is similar to running AutoIt over RDP/VNC/Citrix/etc.

search the forum, there are few solutions:

1) run the AutoIt script from the host itself, not from the terminal client.

2) use blind click based on coordinates and blind send() instead of ControlSend(). for these, the following conditions are required, depending on the method you choose:

method 1 - open-loop-control: make sure the remote app is located exactly in a specific coordinates, so Click based on coordinates will work; and use blind send() instead of ControlSend().

method 2 - closed-loop-control: use image recognition to detect the controls you wish to operate on.

in short: go for option (1) and run the AutoIt script from the host itself.

you can use the title instead of the win handle 

try these:

WinActivate("firefox","")
WinActivate("mozilla","")

or what ever your browser name appears in the tool bar thingy
